I recently visited a site known as Website Grader. I found it as an extremely useful tool telling me of what needs to be improved, and what is appropriate in MY website. Though I was disappointed with the score, it helped me realize what needs improvement.

Using Website Grader gives a small business website owner insight on the properties of a website that can be improved. I’ve read reviews that website designers wrote saying a high grade could give small business website owners a “false sense of security”. Point taken. Regardless, the grader site gives a view of many factors necessary to be monitored in order to have an efficient running website. Some of these factors include: Domain stability, readability, page rank, traffic rank, inbound links and a final grade. By studying the report, small business website owners can see where their website excels and where it is lacking, and try to correct those errors.

By checking your small business website on Website Grader, small business website owners can gain perspective on what’s right and wrong with a site. This information can be used to improve the accessibility of a website, and enhance a website’s page rank with Google. I advise running your small business website through website.grader.com in order to find out where your website ranks.
